Sha`ban 1425 / September 2004

When the Messenger of Allah, upon him blessings and peace,
emerged in Makkah as the soon-to-be absolute leader of the Arabs, the handful of
aspirant monarchs that considered themselves first in the race and most
deserving of honor gnashed their teeth in utter rejection even as they believed
in his status of Prophet. Abu Jahl confessed to this as narrated in the Sunan;
pride and arrogance made them kuffar regardless of faith. When the Holy Prophet
arrived in Madina the same thing happened: the diadem the people were confecting
for Abd Allah ibn Ubay ibn Salul dropped from their hands and they ran to our
Liege-Lord Muhammad, upon him blessings and peace. The would-be king became a
chief munafiq and stewed in his envy and spite, spewing every falsehood he could
against the Prophet, his family and his friends. The biggest calumny of all was
brought against our Mother A’isha, of which Allah Himself exonerated her in the
very month of Sha`ban al-Mu`azzam.

The affliction of envy for Allah's Friends

It is the same with the Prophet’s friends in every century:
they must, if they are true inheritors, face the envy and spite of thirteen to
the dozen would-be kinglets they oust from the imaginary leadership they never
cease dreaming of. In the United States Shaykh Hisham Kabbani faced and still
faces such a cabal day in and day out. He is unfailingly exonerated and
justified by the grace of Allah Who is without doubt pleased with him, as anyone
that has eyes can see. The sooner American seekers of guidance recognize his
Karamah and spiritual standing, the higher their rank will rise here and
hereafter insha Allah. Similarly is Allah well-pleased with the Blessing of the
Age, Shaykh Hisham’s teacher, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani, whom we might
describe as a greater light of the two Easts and the two Wests than the sun in
our sky, were it not that we are ordered to address people according to their
understanding; and the sum of their understanding is that he is an ordinary
person.

So, understandably, they rage against Shaykh Nazim. Their
petty minds understandably leave no curse unsaid: yesterday a KGB agent, today a
freemason, tomorrow perhaps an hostile ET. And why not, when the
self-aggrandizing, extremist, boot camp fanatics of the second Hijri century
known as the Kharijis made up similar demonizations of no less than the
Companions of the Prophet?

Signs of Kharijism

The unmistakable marks of Kharijis are purism and their
addiction to anathema. From the beginning until now they and their epigones have
not been able to devise a better sell for bigoted types. All one happy gnarlin’
’n hissin’ family inside a worn-out Trojan horse that goes: “Let us purge ye
from your damning beliefs so that ye not roast in Hell where we had rather
expedite ye.” They will cry 'Tawhid,' they will cry 'Fight Riba.' But all join hands
when it comes to declaring mainstream Muslims deviant.

Take, for example, the Habashi sect based in Beirut,
Lebanon (aptly known as the “Association of Islamic Charitable Projects”: the
Association itself being neither) [see
Refutation of the Habashis]. They may protest day and night that they are
“Ash`ariyy, Shafi`iyy, Rifa`iyy” but as surely as the sun rises in the sky, they
are the same brand of insipid Kharijites as their arch-enemies the Wahhabis.
Imam al-Shafi`i, Imam al-Ash`ari, and Imam al-Rifa`i, Allah be well-pleased with
them, are innocent of anyone that wags their tongues against the Companions of
the Messenger of Allah, upon him and them blessings and peace, while the Habashi
leader known as `Abd Allah al-Harari is the proud author of a booklet declaring
thousands of Companions corrupt. It is nearly mass-transmitted from the Prophet,
upon him blessings and peace, that anyone that insults his Companions is cursed.
As Imam Abu Zur`a said: “Whoever insults the Companions, know that he is a
zindiq” i.e. a hidden disbeliever, as narrated by al-Khatib in his Kifaya.

The Habashis also distinguish themselves for attacking the
Awliya and `Ulama of Ahl al-Sunna in our time and declaring them apostates right
and left when the Prophet said, upon him peace, as narrated by al-Bukhari and
Muslim: “Whoever calls his [Muslim] brother ‘kafir’, it becomes definitely true
of one of the two.”

It is the same with that other Khariji heresy of the 21st
Century, the Murabitun of Abd al-Qadir al-Murabit (Ian Neil Dallas) and their
latest fitnah: Umar Ibrahim Vadillo’s The Esoteric Deviation in Islam , a plodding
900-page brick that boasts one message that typifies the contempt the Murabitun
have for the Community of Islam: “We are holy and the mass of Muslims are
freemasons.” You might call it a demonstration of Ian Dallas’s Iblisi statement,
“One billion muslims (sic) are enslaved because they think that the idea that they
have of God is God!” Hasbuna Allah.

My first encounter with Vadillo’s world was on the internet
about ten years ago. Vadillo became frenzied when I mentioned that zakat on gold
could be paid not necessarily in gold but in any local paper currency, an
agreed-upon fatwa in the Muslim world borrowed from the Hanafi and Maliki
Madhhabs. You see, in 1991, Vadillo and Dallas had produced a “Fatwa [!!]
Concerning the Islamic Prohibition of Using Paper-Money as a Medium of
Exchange.” Then, when I mentioned that I came to Islam partly through reading
Martin Lings’ Life of Muhammad upon him blessings and peace, Vadillo crowed,
'You
should revise your Islam.' I was probably an apostate, he felt, because I had
entered Islam after reading a book written, in his well-considered view, by a
rank Guenonian Masonic esotericist. It followed that everything Lings touched
must turn to deviance, including the Shahada. It was a case of kufr not for
denying, but because I said La ilaha illallah Muhammadun Rasulullah!

TheEsoteric Deviation in Islam is replete with examples of
the same looney tunes of mindless generalizations on the one hand and guilt by
association on the other. Understand the main business is curse and anathema. It
may take a 'Gold Dinar' mantra or a 'Fiqh of Madina' mantra, after several megabytes
of talk and scribble, most lately a so-called “Islamic Youth Conference” in
perfect Wahhabese linguo, The Organization wants you to remember just two
words: auto-da-fé. So be warned you’re to be on their good side. What due
process of Shari`ah? What adab of Tariqah? Are we not sufficiently “Ash`ari Maliki”
for our shameless, calumnious, murderous Kharijism to pass for righteousness? So
many witches, so few public burnings! How appropriate that one of the
Murabitun’s companies is called Yathrib, a name the Holy Prophet banned and
which means 'plagued.'

Believe it or not, there is a method to the itinerary that
leads from Dallas’s Eastern mysticism in The Book of Strangers to accusing the
foremost Friend of Allah, Shaykh Nazim, of extreme satanism in Vadillo’s Esoteric Deviation (p. 460). Once you can believe that an excited, unschooled,
unauthorized, untrained extra from Cinecittà with a Monty Python voice mouthing
crypto-Nazi and blatantly Masonic views (http://murabitun.cyberummah.org) can
extemporaneously materialize as Sufi Guru of the Times then again as Pontifex
Maximus of True Islamic Law, any subsequent ignorance should be a cinch. I mean
Jahl; frantic shoppers of jahl at a big jahl sale after which no
jahl remains.

Blasphemies

Why plod far? Vadillo begins and ends his book with
blasphemies, as if to warn despite himself it needs pollute only the dumbest
buyers. The Esoteric Deviation begins with the sentence: “All Praise is due to
Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful, the Lord of all the worlds,
the King of the Day of Judgment, Who has gathered all knowledge in His essence
and Who is the Creator of all knowledge for eternity.” It follows that Allah has
gathered something created in His Essence, an absolute heresy: Allah is never
the Creator of His own `Ilm, an uncreated Divine Attribute in Sunni Doctrine
like all the Divine Attributes.

Then these ubermensch enormities on Vadillo’s p. 749-750:
“Our goal is to want what Allah wants and to do it without hesitation.” What
Allah wants goes, with or without you, Mr. Vadillo; your goal should have been
to do what Allah commands and to leave what He forbids, while among the things
Allah said He wants, and the Prophet commands, are EASE and RELIEF (Qur’an
2:185, 4:28) with which you, your book, and your Movement stand at complete odds
because you consider these values Masonic deviations. “These are the people we
want to create... and they are the noblest outcome of our efforts.” (p. 750)
But, Mr. Vadillo, the “we” you rely upon cannot create even a fly, and if a fly
were to rob you, your friend from Inverness, and his supporters of a speck of
dust, the “we” you boast of could not recover it in a million years. And what
Allah wants of you first and foremost, and which you claim to do without
hesitation, is to obey and love the Prophet Muhammad, whom you studiously ignore
in your closing section where you praise and supplicate for yourself and your
Movement and its Zarathustra and Herrenmensch-Elite.

More examples of Vadillo’s Nietzschean “construct for
Islam’s future” very quickly gleamed from The Esoteric Deviation in Islam:

- “We are not monotheist.” (p. 284) Indeed; but we Muslims
are. Allah Most High said {Your God is One God} and this is monotheism, namely
“the belief or doctrine that there is only one God” (Webster’s).

- “[T]here is no brotherhood of mankind.” (p. 284) “[T]he
doctrine of brotherhood of mankind is not a Sufi doctrine, it is not even jewish
or christian, it is simply a freemasonic ideal.” (p. 642) “[T]he doctrine of the
brotherhood of mankind, the sign of the esotericists, which is connected... to
the philosophy of tolerance.” (p. 679)

But Allah said He created mankind from a
single soul and the Prophet, upon him blessings and peace, said we all come from
Adam. Vadillo and co. prefer a more Hobbesian world of eat or be eaten. {When it
is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth, they say: We are peacemakers
only} (2:11); this man and his teacher may growl “Peacemakers we are definitely
not,” still {Are not they indeed the mischief makers? But they perceive not}
(2:12).‏

- “[T]he people of the Book are to be made dhimmis under
our power.” (p. 456)

Do you mean after or before you are finished with the
Muslims? Vadillo wrote the above in a paragraph intended to criticize Shaykh
Nazim for “den[ying] Jihad,” but Vadillo’s own Shaykh wrote in the wake of
September 11, “A true study of the Qur’an and the Sunnah shows us that capitalism
will not be abolished on the battlefield but in the marketplace where it is
practiced.” Vadillo’s double standard runs through his book like the San Andreas
fault.

- “The only valid tolerance is from the Shari`ah of Allah
and not from religious consensus under the auspices of UN resolutions” (p. 650).

It goes without saying that the Shari`ah is final on what a Muslim must
understand and practice as “tolerance,” but note the attempt to divorce Ijma`
from the Shari`ah, a cherished goal of the Murabitun, the Muhajirun, Hizb at-Tahrir,
and other Khariji plants dying to embroil Muslims in a Total War With Everybody
Else.

- “Revere the Injil... we clearly do not[,] since we
consider it to be, in its present form, an inaccurate copy which has been
abrogated in its totality by the Qur’an.” (p. 681).

Allah save us from
pseudo-reformers that confuse the rulings of abrogation with the dictates of adab and confuse reverence with submission and belief. First, the
Shari`ah makes
it incumbent upon every Muslim to know the names of the heavenly Books and
believe in them and the Prophets they were revealed to; second, adab requires
every Muslim to revere the same books for all time even in translation and even
in their present form; and third, abrogation is irrelevant here and is just an
excuse for poor manners, like “inaccuracy.” Little do they revere the Qur’an to
begin (the meanings of which they twist and contort to fit their agenda), even
less the Sunnah which they do not know, and their acts show they harbor spite and
rancor for the Muslims, then it is a small thing that one of them be caught
saying they do not revere the Injil which Allah Almighty revealed, and even
smaller to call the main Shaykh of Guidance in our time an evil, extreme
fatalist that abuses the Muslims (p. 464-465)!

Vadillo again uses a double standard to cast other people’s
speech as masonry, perennialism, and all the dirty words they use, but his own
pope’s speech is infallible even when it drips with masonic language and
perennialism:

- Abdalqadir (p. 288-289): “According to the pure doctrine
of the huda, or ancient guidance that has adhered from the time of our father,
Sayyiduna Adam, peace be upon him, gnosis lies in the hands of the prophet of
the time.” “For six hundred years there was a living christian gnostic
tradition.” “Moses, Jesus, Muhammad - they are one line, peace be upon all of
them - their teaching is Islam.” “Embedded in Vedic writings and Buddhist sutras
there is no doubt that one can discover fragments of a pure Tawhid (unity)
[sic].”

So Vadillo’s professor is allowed to say all this, or that “The Holy
Grail was nothing other than the black stone of the Ka’bah”!! (in The New
Wagnerian p. 171); but when Shaykh Nazim says, “All religions which believe
in all prophets and in all the revelations coming to them through the Creator,
are the same” and “The target of all religions is the same, but the methods have
changed throughout the time” (p. 455), it is “perennialism”!

Of the Naqshbandi-Haqqani Tariqah of Shaykh Nazim and his
representative Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, Vadillo states with unmitigated gall (p.
641), “This false Naqshbandi group that comes from Daghestan represents our
whole esoteric thesis in one.”

And what, pray, is his “whole esoteric thesis in one”? The brotherhood of
mankind, the universality of religions, and belief in the impending appearance
of the Mahdi.

Rejection of al-Mahdi

A flip side of the Murabitun 'Gold Dinar 'mantra is their
'Don’t Expect the Mahdi' mantra. The entire Qadyani heresy is founded on a similar
denial because a pseudo-mahdi wants no rival. The appearance of the Mahdi is in
fact mass-transmitted by over twenty Companions of the Prophet, upon him and
them blessings and peace, as documented by the Moroccan hadith Master of
Damascus Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ja`far al-Kattani in his dictionary of mutawatir
hadiths titled Nazm al-Mutanathir. This places whoever knowingly denies belief
in the appearance of the Mahdi beyond the pale of Sunni belief or somewhere
worse.

To justify their ignorance of the Sunnah with regard to the
Mahdi in ostensible Shari`ah terms, the Murabitun’s only stilt is Ibn Khaldun’s
anti-Mahdi hadithic argument which Vadillo fastidiously reproduces in full in
his book (p. 753-770). He is blissfully oblivious to the fact that those
arguments are just as irrelevant today as they were in Ibn Khaldun’s time, since
he is not considered an authority in hadith and its sciences. Al-Kattani said:
“I have seen in our time many people expressing doubt about al-Mahdi, saying:
‘Are the hadiths pertaining to him really decisive as evidence or not?’ and many
of them choose to stand with Ibn Khaldun and rely on him, although he is not one
of the experts in this field. And truth demands that we go back, in every
discipline, to those that master it, and ironclad knowledge belongs to Allah
Most High and Exalted.”

Al-Kattani adds that tawatur was reported on the subject by
al-Sakhawi in Fath al-Mughith from Abu al-Husayn al-Abirri al-Sijistani’s (d.
363) Sharh al-Risala, Manaqib al-Shafi`i, and Maghani al-Wafa bi Ma`ani al-Iktifa;
also Abu al-`Ala’ Idris ibn Muhammad ibn Idris al-Husayni al-`Iraqi in his
epistle on the topic; also al-Saffarayini in his Sharh `Aqidat al-Imam Ahmad;
al-Shawkani in his epistle al-Tawdih fi Tawatur ma Ja'a fi al-Mahdi wal-Dajjal
wal-Masih, and al-Haytami in the fatwa cited below. But if ignorance of Arabic,
Fiqh, Usul, Qur’an, and Hadith never stopped a gifted news analyst from
reconstructing the Shari`ah for his cringing devotees [ref. to Syed Qutb], why should it matter that Ibn Khaldun was never more than an average
muqallid in any discussion of hadith
authenticity?

Another non-argument of the Murabitun is that “we do not
find this in the books of the Malikis” (for their knowledge now encompasses the
books of the Malikis). Yet the famous renewer of the Maliki Madhhab Ahmad ibn `Ashir
included belief in and expectation of the Mahdi among the necessary articles of
Muslim belief in his poem summing up the creed of Islam! Yet it really would not
matter at all if Imam Malik and the schools of Madina never mentioned al-Mahdi
since the agreement of the Ummah is more important and more probative than the
Fiqh of Madinah, and the Ummah concurs that belief in the Mahdi is part of the
Islamic creed.

But the Mahdi hullabalo is just the tip of the iceberg.
That Vadillo counts the number of times Shaykh Nazim mentions “Jesus” and
“shaytan” in contrast with “Allah” and “Muhammad” under the rubric “Satanism”
(p. 462) shows the suspiciously Guénonian pitch of his anti-Masonic fever and
its phantasmagoric self-fulfilling prophecies. As for the Murabitun homily that
“Muslims do not wait to establish Islam,” needless to say, it is a straw man
over which no two rams butt heads, reminiscent of the anti-sufi pseudo-argument
that Islam is against quietism and monasticism. The European and American
Muslims that follow Shaykh Nazim hardly “wait to establish Islam” in their
persons, homes, communities, and businesses.

To conclude on the issue of the Mahdi, the major Makkan
Shafi`i faqih, hafiz, and Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Hajar al-Haytami in his fatwa
titled al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar (“The Brief
Discourse on the Portents of the Awaited Mahdi”) said that denial of the Mahdi
entails kufr:

It has been related that the Prophet, blessings and
peace upon him, said: “Whoever denies belief in the Dajjal, has certainly committed disbelief (man kadhdhaba
bil-dajjali fa-qad kafara), and whoever denies belief in the
Mahdi, has certainly committed disbelief (wa-man kadhdhaba
bil-mahdi fa-qad kafara)."

Abu Bakr al-Askafi narrated it in Fawa’id al-Akhbar,
and also [the hadith master] Abu al-Qasim al-Suhayli in
his book Sharh al-Sirah.

The hadith mentioned above is also narrated by the hadith
Master Ibn Nasir al-Din al-Dimashqi in his book `Uqud al-Durar fi `Ulum al-Athar
(“The Pearl Necklaces in the Science of Reports”) p. 156 and the hadith Master
Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti in his treatise al-`Arf al-Wardi fi Akhbar al-Mahdi (“The
Rose Fragrance Concerning the Reports on al-Mahdi) in his collected fatwas
entitled al-Hawi lil-Fatawa (2:161). This is the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah, this is
the belief of the Sufis, this is the belief of our Shaykhs, and this is the
belief of the true Shadhili Shaykhs, whose path both al-Suyuti and al-Haytami
followed. Whoever differs with them is a liar and an innovator.

"Vehement hatred has already appeared from their mouths"

Although Vadillo does denounce a few unsavory characters,
by and large he leaves the Qur’anic heresies alone, such as the neo-Mu`tazilis
of the West and the Muslim world, the ... the Omar Bakris, the
“Qur’an-only” yahoos, the Ahmadis/Qadyanis, the pseudo-feminists and other Sunnah-negating
re-formers of our hermeneutics. Instead he unleashes a birdbrained “free-mason!”
Macarthyism on Lings, al-Qaradawi, and others not nearly one tenth as masonic
and controversial as the Murabitun themselves. From their chief kook to their
academic errand-boys and menial translators, they have mumbled against the Four
Imams and would dispense with the Hadith of the Prophet altogether if they
could. “We follow Malik,” one of them had the gall to say, “only insofar as he
adheres to the `amal of Madina”! If they were more than fledgling zindiqs they
would attack the Qur’an also for mentioning `Isa, upon him blessings and peace,
and shaytan too much for their taste.

However, it is the Murabitun’s hatred of Shaykh Nazim
al-Haqqani and his Naqshbandi Tariqah that gives them away. Shaytan hated Adam,
the father of (the brotherhood of) mankind, not because of Adam’s own person,
but because out of his progeny would come forth our Liege-Lord Muhammad who is
the first and last Advocate of mankind, the Seal of Prophets and Master of
creation, upon him blessings and peace. It follows that shaytan also hates the
Prophet’s Inheritor in every era. In our time, Shaykh Nazim and his friends are
the salt of the earth and the best of creation without doubt; a faith I hope to
claim as a reason for salvation on the Day of Resurrection. If there is a
greater living representative of the Message of Muhammad, the Message of Jesus,
and the Message of Moses on the face of the earth, inform us! But what, Nimrod
and Pharaoh ask, is a Friend of Allah? Then they proceed to demonize right and
truth.

How aptly did a reporter describe the Murabitun as
“possibly the only religious sect in history whose defining article of faith is
a financial theory”! (“In Gold We Trust,” Wired Magazine January 2002). Then
they hiss at Shaykh Nazim because Sharifs, Sultans, Kings and Princes take his
hand while all they get is Qaddafists, Kemalists and Mahatir Mohammad. Shaykh
Mustafa ibn Sidi Ibrahim Basir of Banu `Iyat said they came to the Maghrib and
tried to enlist him into their project of an international organization of some
sort (their “World Murabitun Movement”), presided by The Shaykh of Instruction
of the Age. Sidi Mustafa told me he would have nothing to do with it and told
them: You are all welcome to the Zawiya, as for dunya we are not interested in
it.

The Murabitun also reject Lings’ superlative biography of
Sidi Ahmad ibn `Aliwa, A Sufi Saint of the Twentieth Century although they claim
that Ibn `Aliwa’s successor, the Darqawi Moroccan Shaykh Muhammad ibn al-Habib,
made Dallas a caliph, but those I spoke with during my 1420-1421 stay in Morocco
denied this. (Sidi Basir told me that the Khalifa of Sidi Ibn al-Habib in the
Darqawi Tariqa was Shaykh Muhammad al-Qurshi, whose zawiya is in Morocco.) They
also claim Ibn al-Habib put Dallas in charge of teaching Islam in the West but
this also is untrue; rather, former travel associates of Dallas said Shaykh
Muhammad ibn al-Habib actually predicted that a Shaykh would be coming to the
West for that purpose, which is Shaykh Nazim. Both aspects are borne out by fact
regardless of any prediction: neither does Dallas teach Islam for all the
Sufi-then-Maliki panoply, nor does there remain the shadow of a doubt that
Shaykh Nazim, in 20 years’ work, single-handedly converted to traditional Islam
the greatest number of people in Western da`wah history.

False titles

As for the impudent titles they now claim for Ian Dallas:
The Shaykh of Instruction of the Age, the Recoveror of True Islamic Fiqh, and
Reviver of the Sunnah etc.: such claims were predicted by the Holy Prophet, upon
him blessings and peace, in his narrations about the unabashed and unchallenged
reign of ignorance at the end of time. Sweet ignorance! Can even a child accept
to dispense with wudu for six months and go on a tayammum-only spree although
water is plentiful, as that man’s followers did in Norwich? Is this not the
doing of a dajjal stealing the Salat of the Muslims by playing with the Law? Hasbuna Allah.

The Murabitun hate to hear about Mahdi and `Isa, upon our
Prophet and them blessings and peace, because they do not expect any more good
to come from the Heaven. They are materialists dying for scraps of worldly
power. This is the wont of every latter-day Muslim brotherhood, party, and
organization without exception and the only salvation from this mortal fall is
connection to the Awliya through an uninterrupted and authentic chain of
transmission. Hence they attack Shaykh Nazim’s heavenly inspiration, his
heavenly words, his heavenly ways. They attack in Shaykh Nazim the one scourge
of materialism in our time and the declared enemy of dajjals of any kind.

About their leader

Is it not time they knew what Shaykh Nazim said of their
leader? A trustworthy Spanish murid of nine years told me that he was Shaykh
Nazim’s driver on a 3,000-mile tour of Spain in 1997 during which the Shaykh was
asked about Abd al-Qadir al-Murabit and he replied: “A shaytan who was given a
bowl of blessed water and used it up to gather some people and start a group. He
was shown a light but it was only a battery light. When the water finished he
became envious of those that were given a spring.”

Another murid from Germany told me that at the time Dallas,
pretexting the need to study fiqh and spread the Murabitun ideology of
superiority of what he imagined to be the Maliki School, renounced the Darqawi
Adab to which he had been pledged before and his followers deserted him en masse
(including his associate Shaykh Fadlallah Haeri), some for their graves, some
for mental institutions, and some for Tariqah, Shaykh Nazim said: “He is like
someone who took to sea with his group then, when a storm threatened the boat,
admitted that he was not a captain and that the boat was unfit for the open sea;
then he had himself lifted into a rescue helicopter and left his group to save
themselves.”

And now, Umar Ibrahim Vadillo’s Esoteric Deviation in Islam ,
a book that makes its rizq the revilement of the Awliya and, worse, panders to a
Final Solution ethos passing for Islamic reform! - a tract of misguidance as
dark as its pitch-black and devil-red cover. What more perverse victory for
shaytan than to produce the straight-faced idiocy that dubs a Spanish Petit
Inquisitor “The distinguished Islamic Scholar and Author” of “a gem of a book,”
“the essential book on Islamic Groupings over the last century,” his professor
“The Shaykh of Instruction of the Age, Recoveror of True Islamic Fiqh, Reviver
of the Sunnah” (who cannot tie his own shoes in Arabic) and, in contrast, cries
Sycophancy if one rightly names Shaykh Nazim “the unequalled spiritual master of
our time, the Mujaddid, Muhyi as-Sunnah, Mu’ayyid al-Haqq, Sultan al-Awliya of
the 21st Century”? The same Shaykh Nazim that brought tens of thousands of
Westerners to Islam by the grace of Allah and was being arraigned in Republican
Turkey for raising the adhan in Arabic long before Umar Ibrahim Whippersnapper
was of age to buy the havanas he smokes today in his pin-stripe suit at the
corridas The Shaykh of Instruction of the Age encourages him to attend!

One of the hadiths in which the Prophet mentions the Mahdi,
upon them blessings and peace, stresses that the earth will be saturated (muli’at)
with injustice before it becomes saturated with justice again. This wording is
of the utmost importance for the defenders of truth in our time. They must know
that there is not one corner of purity or goodness on the face of the earth
except the minions of fitnah must buzz over it and deposit on it, like
houseflies, some dirt they diligently carry from wherever flies carry dirt. May
Allah bring to pass the time when all this is swept away where it belongs. May
He use us toward that day as defenders of truth by the blessing of the Most
Honored One in His Divine Presence, just as in His wisdom He lets others do
their worst as propagators of falsehood. "Say: Shall We inform you who will
be the greatest losers by their works? Those whose effort goes astray in the
life of the world, and yet they reckon that they do good work" (18:103-104).

May Allah support Shaykh Nazim the Hope of our time ever
more, grant him ever higher stations here and hereafter by the Baraka of the
Owner of the Flag of Glory our Liege-Lord Muhammad, upon him and his Family and
Companions all blessings and peace and the Baraka of the Silsila of the Most
Distinguished Tariqatu Naqshbandiyya, and turn over to him the good deeds of his
enviers! May Allah fell the rotten dead tree of Kharijism and bigotry that has
so damaged us East and West, inside and outside Islam! May He inspire Umar
Vadillo to take back that sinister work of his before the grave, his teacher to
check invidia at the door of repentance if he intends to abandon Jahiliyya once
and for all, and both of them to surrender to the leadership of the true Friends
of Allah just as their betters did and do! The day of Dallas’s right honor and
golden gain shall come when Allah softens his heart and sweetens his disposition
to make him curtsey no longer to the Sukarnos of the world but to his real guide insha Allah: Shaykh Nazim - and serve him tea and Scottish shortbread.
